Marginal learning gains is a concept developed by British Cycling that improving many small aspects of performance by 1% each can lead to significant overall gains. The document provides examples of how this concept can be applied to education through various techniques such as self-reflection, independent study tools, collaboration and active learning methods. Suggested homework activities for Spanish A-Level include using listening resources like podcasts and past papers, setting vocabulary tests, reading news articles and past comprehension questions.
